Inuit
Art
An Introduction
This superbly illustrated book explores the historical and cultural
background to Inuit art with examples chosen from Canada's major
public museum collections. Author Ingo Hessel looks at the themes
and subjects depicted in Inuit art, and at techniques, materials,
and regional styles in sculpture, drawing, printmaking and textiles,
as well as at the work of individual artists. The book is informed
throughout by Hessel's own deep appreciation for the aesthetic quality
of much northern art.
